Two 500 g blocks of wood are 2.0 m apart on a frictionless table. A 9.0 g bullet is fired at 430 m/s toward the blocks. It passes all the way through the first block, then embeds itself in the second block. The speed of the first block immediately afterward is 5.8 m/s .

What is the speed of the second block after the bullet stops?

In Figure (1), a 3.50 g bullet is fired horizontally at two blocks at rest on a frictionless table. The bullet passes through block 1 (mass 1.42 kg) and embeds itself in block 2 (mass 1.88 kg). The blocks end up with speeds v1 = 0.610 m/s and v2 = 1.31 m/s (see Figure (2)). Neglecting the material removed from block 1 by the bullet, find the speed of the bullet as it (a) leaves and (b) enters block 1.

A 4.00-g bullet is moving horizontally with a velocity of 355 m/s, where the sign indicates that it is moving to the right (see part a of the drawing). The bullet is approaching two blocks resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible. The bullet passes completely through the first block (an inelastic collision) and embeds itself in the second one, as indicated in part b. Note that both blocks are moving after the collision with the bullet....
